Nitrogen is not a magic cure for this or much else, as its pressure is still going to vary just as much with temperature as atmospheric air (which is already 78% nitrogen vs 95% or so for N2 filling equipment - you aren't gaining nearly as much as suggested).

Nitrogen's chief advantage is that it's drier than most compressed "ordinary" air, and even that doesn't mean very much to the average motorist. Good profit source for the shop, though.


Blacksix - the part number I posted in #11 above was listed at $18 about a year ago.
